Adblocker doesn't work - you can do that

If your ad blocker doesn't work, you have to make sure that the filters are set correctly. This practical tip tells you what you can do about the problem.

Adblocker not working - what to do?

If you want to block annoying advertisements in the browser, you can use an ad blocker. If this doesn't work, you should use the following tips:

• You must activate the filters so that the ad blockers can also block the advertising.
• To do this, right-click on your ad blocker and select "Options". Here you can select the filters under "Filter lists" after the advertisement is to be blocked. At least one filter must be selected so that the advertisement is actually hidden.
• To ensure that the filters are up to date, you should click on the "Update Now" button. Then restart your browser.
• In addition, your browser should be up to date so that the ad blockers work properly. Make sure that you have the latest version of your browser installed.
• Note that advertising on streaming portals can often not be removed.
• With some portals, such as RTL Now, a message is displayed when using an ad blocker, which can only be closed after around 30 seconds.

Adblock can also be deactivated for certain YouTubers. We will show you this in the next practical tip.
